I knew the Nagy stuff had to be agent nonsense. Chiefs are not renewing Nagy’s contract. They don’t want him. Hope he doesn’t emerge on eagles radar. Not a fan

Maybe it’s BS, but supposedly Nagy wants to get out from Reid’s shadow and rehab his image.

Maybe QB play isnt what it used to be. Tom Brady has even said this recently. QBs today rely more on athleticism then what they used to when they'd go thru progressions and do more at the line of scrimmage.

Thats not to say QBs today dont go thru progressions but maybe its not as common as it used to

That’s not a result of the NIL. That’s the result of spread offenses

That's why Brady is the goat. . He wasn't athletic. He was just smarter

Burrow, Goff and Stafford are probably the last of a dying breed of pure pocket passers, which is sad.

Gone are the days of a surgeon in the pocket, dissecting defenses with precision and timing. Teams are enamored by athleticism now, regardless of how bad of a QB someone actually is (see: Anthony Richardson).

As someone mentioned earlier, you shouldn't get comp picks if someone has already been hired as a HC before. You are no longer opening the door for them, they've already walked through it.

Saleh getting another HC shot after a year out is nonsense, he did nothing with the Jets to suggest he's a competent Head Coach. He's doing a speedrun of Raheem Morris' career.

The Niners might’ve well cured racism with all those extra 3rd round picks they’ve earned over the years

The final boss of NFL's cure to racism. If the end zone messaging and helmet phrases didn't get you. And if Jay-Z taking over the SB halftime show didn't do it. And if OpportUNITY sideline gear didn't do it. The Rooney Rule is here to save the day.

So another revenge tour next season. We get the Bears, Niners, and Titans so Nick can finally avenge the Saleh/Jets "stay humble" loss.

We're definitely winning the SB now, that's cool.

Stickers, paint, a free lunch and a tweak to the draft order… the NFL cure lacks a certain monetary substance.

Most kids in Philadelphia don’t even have the OpportUNITY to play organized football. Is that the responsibility of the NFL, no, but it’s not going to be great in a couple of generations when the sport is reduced to a family trade (the faces change but names remain the same).

But then someone threw them out and shut and locked the door. So they need to go through again.

There isn’t one lol. The talent is still solid coming into the league. If anything it’s keeping kids in college longer. So maybe that’s the trickle down effect?

There is and you’re blind if you think otherwise. There will always be ‘solid’ talent coming into the NFL. The issue is they’ve taken the Urban Meyer approach to an extreme CFB wide. Develop a system to plug and play athletes into, and hope your athletes out athlete the other teams. Little to no player development is needed. Now the kids are basically conscripts…and staying in college longer just reinforces bad habits and technique. The longer this is allowed, the less incentive there will be to actually coach these kids for the coaches who still actually try to develop them.

Honestly I like a little athleticism in my qb. Why does it have to be either or?

Honestly, the Jets were so much better when he was their coach than they've been since. In fact, they got far worse right after he got hired. Maybe he's a good coach who was handcuffed by a dumpster fire of an organization and a roster of sad sack quarterbacks.

I think he’s a good coach. However taking that job is complete career suicide.

first round no doubt - only knock on him is his arm length but PFF says hes 19th overall.

I think he’s better than that. Top 10 easily, maybe higher. Probably higher.

These coaches generally have god complexes. They think they can do/fix anything. Ben Johnson is one of the only guys recently I remember who passed up jobs for a year to get the one he wanted.

Trying to keep patient but I would like to see the Eagles 'big swing' manifest this week. Maybe they are waiting for HC jobs to fill to interview HC level guys but would love to see someone above tier 2 interviewed.

You are correct, I think there’s a floor. The issue with freak athletes is that they can be successful at the college level by playing a simplified system along with a hair trigger for scrambling. This doesn’t really prepare them for the NFL.

We might be entering the journeyman era, where the NFL relies as much on guys trained for a couple years in the league as the raw prospects coming out of college.

That might just be the reason he's getting another chance as a HC. Because he was with the Jets. Hardly anyone succeds at that organization.

I agree with your sentiment, but I would actually argue that it often does have to be either or.

Reason 1: developmentally (high school, college, pros)....tucking and running or improvising while evading the rush starts out as a more reliable, easier option to move the chains and score points in critical situations than throwing to the third read. The primary goal is to win the game, after all. Slower, less athletic quarterbacks are forced to develop that at a younger age. When you are one of the best ball carriers on the field as a qb, sometimes you don't develop that refinement until you either ascend to a level where other players are better at it or until you age out of it mid-career in the NFL.

Reason 2: great athletes who are refined passers are called #1 overall picks. If you are drafting a QB outside of the top 5, that basically means they are either going to be athletic or polished, but not both.
